    No, I think only the TRD Offroads have them and probably the Pros. My TRD Sport didn't come with one.

    I'm not sure what comes on the OR can be classified as a skid plate. It's more of a beefy splash guard.

    I didn't even know I didn't have the smaller one until I saw someone else selling their take offs. Went and looked and sure enough (2020 SR5) only the front guard. I was able to pick up a used trd plate for 150 bucks and that took care of it all. the whole trim level skimping on the skid/splash guards just seems stupid. SR5 also does not have the studded fuel take straps or skid.

    TRD Pro skid, RCI (steel or aluminum). Both cover back to the oil pan, both have holes for oil plug and oil filter.
